Note that phone requests for transcripts are not allowed. Once you have your transcript, compare it to the one you also requested from your community college. Make sure that all FF1, FF2, and ERT courses that you have taken have transferred (Note that it can take up to 3 months for college records to be uploaded). If you have already completed your ERT certification, you will become a RT in Vehicle and Machinery Rescue. There are no bridge courses.
